Inspiration, Sharing and Collaborating

I spent a gorgeous weekend in the Adorandacks, we were in a spacious cabin with a fireplace, hottub and all the amenities anyone would ever want.  We were on a lake with trees all around us, nobody in sight, snow coming down in buckets, we actually got snowed in and stayed an extra day.  It seemed that all was very, quiet and still until I got on my blackberry and looked at all the tweets from twitter in one hour.  So many conversations, people, places, things, ideas, it made me think of all the people I haven’t met yet and all the possibilities of great things to come in the new year.

Christmas is upon us, no matter where you are or what you’re doing, no matter how bad the news is all around you, there’s so much opportunity and hope all kinds of things are about to happen to you, and it’s just around the corner.  Social media is the greatest thing to happen to us ever, it’s like getting a huge gift, you open it and you find another package, then another and another.  It seems to me that you just have to know what you’re looking for, where you want to go and what you love to do because there are new friends, clients, partners, collaborators out there waiting for you on twitter, facebook, linkedin.

Not sure where you’re going, how to get there, what to do next?  I’d love to hear from you.  I’d also love to hear from people who have a great story to tell about meeting someone in one of these communities.  No matter what you’re doing or not doing, there’s someone out there who can spark a creative thought that leads you to take an action that could change the course of everything.  Maybe someone out there inspires you to do something you’ve wanted to do for a long time and just maybe there’s a person or persons out there you might collaborate with on a project.  You never know unless you get out there and jump in.

Cyberland is offering classes on blogging, social media marketing and online networking in January.  We’re going to bring you the best and brightest people who will show you how to charge up and go forward in ways you’ve never known possible.  Look for announcements in the next couple of weeks with dates.

Have a very merry Christmas, enjoy your families and friends, the greatest gifts we’ll ever have.  Just for a few days, time will stand still, savour every moment, make new memories and think of all the things you’re grateful for.
